Check out the official cover for Solange’s sophomore album ‘Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams’ (due August 26th via Geffen/Music World). Real different; I’m liking it a lot.What do you think of the cover?
Believe it or not, there were still financial repercussions lingering for Janet Jackson’s now infamous ‘Nipplegate’ moment at the Superbowl four years ago. However, it has been announced that the last of the barrage if fines leveled against the networked which aired it, CBS, has been dropped:
PHILADELPHIA – A federal appeals court has thrown out a $550,000 fine against CBS Corp. for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson’s breast-baring “wardrobe malfunction.”
The three-judge panel in Philadelphia ruled Monday that the Federal Communications Commission “acted arbitrarily and capriciously” in issuing the fine for the fleeting image of nudity.The 90 million people watching the Super Bowl, many of them children, heard Justin Timberlake sing, “Gonna have you naked by the end of this song,” as he reached for Jackson’s bustier. {Source}
About time already. All parties seemed to have moved on anyway, so the fine really was pointless IMO.
Hmm…
Publicity stunt or legit: What do you guys think?
The video for Khia’s latest single ‘Be Your Lady’ hit the net recently. Yes, it’s as bad as you thought it’d be. Windows Movie Maker bad…SMH…
Edit: I just watched it again…LMAO…A mess.
Anyway, Khia’s ‘Nasti Musik’ LP is out now – its release was pushed up to avoid ‘internet downloading’..LOL…I’m almost in tears.
What do you think of the video?
As I’m sure many of you know, I had the pleasure of interviewing R&B star Ne-Yo here in London yesterday. Check out his exclusive shout-out to That Grape Juice above. Be on the look-out for the interview shortly.
Your thoughts?
R&B star Usher is lining up ‘His Mistakes’ as the third single to be lifted from his most recent album ‘Here I Stand’. The song will be serviced to radio on August 18th.Review in a bit…
In the meanwhile…
What do you think of the video?
The video for Rihanna’s latest single ‘Disturbia’ premiered today. Put simple, the David LaChapelle clip is truly awesome, however the song is truly the pits – which is s shame. Still, I can see this one being another hit for the 20 year old. More power to her, I guess…
What do you think of the video?
It is being reported that former TLC star T-Boz has signed with SRC/Universal. The Grammy award winning star’s as yet untitled LP is set to feature production contributions from the likes of Polow Da Don, Dallas Austin and Raphael Saadiq. {Source}Good stuff. I’m really hoping Mario garners the success he deserves this go round; as I’ve said many a time, his last LP ‘Go!’ was criminally underrated, as is Mario as an artist too.
Hit or Miss?
Following the indefinite postponement of Ja Rule’s ‘The Mirror’ LP, many, including myself, have been questioning what exactly is going on with the one-time chart topper. ‘Pushin’ It’, a new Robin Thicke assisted track, presumed to be from the album, surfaced recently. Though the track, which samples Rick Ross’ ‘Push It’, is pretty solid, it leaves a lot to be desired – most especially Thicke’s showing on the hook. With Ja’s career, no doubt, in need of urgent resuscitation, he’s gonna need to come harder than this to come anywhere close to the level of relevance he once commanded.
